Faction

Necrons

An enduring, methodical faction that becomes stronger when fighting within its Power Matrix.

Version: Pre-release
Necrons in Dawn of War IV

Overview

Necrons favor deliberate battles of attrition. Their official strategy notes stress using Resurrection Galleries to recover losses, advancing the Power Matrix steadily, and relying on translocation options later in the match to compensate for slower movement.

How to play

  • Use resilience and Resurrection Galleries to recover losses in extended engagements.
  • Advance the Power Matrix methodically and fight within it whenever possible.
  • Use translocation options in mid and late game to offset slower movement.

How to play against

  • Draw Necrons away from the Power Matrix before committing to a major fight.
  • Attack weak positions elsewhere to exploit their slower advances.
  • Focus fire to finish units instead of leaving wounded enemies behind.
